Default Server 9: Accidentally move forum to category

Silly me...

I managed to reorder my categories and forums by making a new category, deleting a forum and moving that deleted forum into that new category. That's when I realized all posts in the forum, except those who in subforums, disappeared. Are they deleted for good? If not, how to retrieve them back?

Thanks. My members must have been mad to me by the time they realize this >.<

oh well...

one lesson I get from this accident: Always move your forum into a forum, not a category.

thanks anyway. you can close this topic.

There should have been an option to move all topics into another forum when you deleted it. You may check one of your other forums and see if they got moved and you just didnt know it.
